About Contributing to a Clear Path Analysis Report
Who can contribute to Clear Path Analysis reports?
Clear Path Analysis’s unique proposition is our ability to secure contributions from buy-side, end users and asset owners within the sectors our reports cover. Any individual representing a company Clear Path Analysis believes to be a solution provider or/and sell side to the report in question is required to sponsor in order to contribute.
What forms does report contribution take?
Clear Path Analysis offers a wide variety of contributions ranging from white papers through to group roundtable debates. However, we pride ourselves on being able to formulate original and abstract ways of contributing to a report and suggest you enquire for more information.
Can I request a hard copy of any report?
All of Clear Path Analysis reports are online only for readers. However, sponsors of the report can benefit from hard copy versions being created for them. Please enquire for more information.
How are Clear Path Analysis reports distributed?
All of Clear Path Analysis reports are distributed differently depending on the target market for the report and who our sponsors want to reach. 75% of each report distribution is tailored depending on sponsor preferences.
Why do people contribute to the reports?
Our contributors participate in the reports for various reasons including:
- Personal recognition amongst peers
- Gain evidence of their expertise to showcase at conferences, client/peer presentations, internal knowledge sharing, etc
- Personal satisfaction of writing out ideas
- How do roundtable discussions work?
With few exceptions, our roundtable discussions take place remotely via teleconference. The transcript of the recorded discussion is edited and then sent to the panellists to proof read and send back. The final version is included in the report.
How do white papers work?
A white paper is a two page “thought piece” on a subject. If you are contributing a white paper, we will provide a template and broad guidelines for you.
Is the topic that I’ve been invited to participate in set in stone?
No. We hope that you will work with us to make the topic as relevant to your expertise and compelling as possible.
About Sponsoring a Clear Path Analysis report
What makes Clear Path Analysis so different to using magazines, conferences or other marketing channels?
We produce high quality, free reports that allow solution providers to raise interest in their ideas alongside buy-side individuals and/or end users through white papers, roundtable debates and interviews with prominent individuals. Alongside the ability to commentate in the reports, we provide sponsors the ability to engage with the readership on a one to one level thereby providing exclusive insight into individuals prospect needs. For those sponsors keen on raising public profile, we engage a third part PR agency to secure press commentary based on their report contributions.
Regardless of the type of business you offer, Clear Path Analysis offers multi-channel exposure that we believe is unrivalled in the print, online and conference media sector.
How much does it cost to sponsor a report?
There is no fixed price for sponsorship. Clear Path Analysis acts like a consultancy working with sponsors to tailor a sponsorship package depending on their needs and subsequent sponsor benefits undertaken. The reason for no fixed price being possible to provide is due to sponsor packages being depending on:
- Sponsors preferred content in the report
- Proposed contributors
- Ideal distribution by geography, profile and seniority
- Ideal distribution by individual names
- The sponsors preferred method of contributing
- Topic of sponsors own contribution
- Sponsors placement in the report
- Added benefits not immediately contained within the report in question
How do I secure a Report sponsorship package suitable for my needs?
Every Clear Path Analysis report has a designated Commercial Development Director who will discuss your individual objectives for your marketing, the challenges you feel you face in building your profile or educating prospective clients and other marketing channels you have undertaken to ensure the resulting proposal for involvement best meets your aims.
